Slide 5: EAF Would Significantly Shrink Algoma's Environmental Footprint
EAF Would Significantly Shrink Algoma’s Environmental Footprint 3.0MM metric tonnes anticipated reduction (~70%) of • Electric arc steelmaking (EAF) generates carbon GHG emissions(1) representing: substantially less CO2 and other air pollutants compared to Blast Furnace 11% of the Canadian Federal
Slide 6: Air Emissions Modeling
Air Emissions Modeling Data inputs include: Five years of hourly meteorological data: wind speeds, wind directions, temperature, barometric pressure, precipitation Property boundaries, onsite physical structure coordinates, elevations and local terrain data Emission source data for onsite sour
Slide 7: Air Emissions Modeling
Air Emissions Modeling Modeling Process Using all of the data inputs simultaneously, the model calculates predicted dispersions for each point on a receptor grid surrounding the facility beginning at 1 meter intervals at the property boundary and expanding outwards at 2, 4 and 8 meter intervals.
Slide 8: Air Emissions Modeling and Monitoring
Air Emissions Modeling and Monitoring Requested discussion topics Emissions Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report (ESDM) Process upsets and incidents - Analysis of modeled and site specific monitored data shows Algoma Steel’s model is conservative Monitoring station locations The Ministry
Slide 9: Site Specific Standards for Particulate and BaP
Site Specific Standards for Particulate and BaP On March 27th, 2015 Algoma received a Site Specific Standard (SSS) for Particulate which sets specific emission limits in cokemaking. Expiry of the SSS has since been extended to June 2023 to allow enough time for a technical standard to be developed a

Slide 16: Technical Standard
Technical Standard Regulatory Instrument to replace existing SSS’s • A new integrated steelmaking industry Technical Standard for multiple air contaminants is under development • Contaminants include: Suspended Particulate Matter, B(a)P, Benzene, Sulfur Dioxide, Total Reduced Sulfur and Manganese •
Slide 17: Environmental Compliance Approvals
Environmental Compliance Approvals There are currently no applications for new environmental compliance approvals. The MECP has amended the Benzene Emissions Control Environmental Compliance Approval to include new leak detection and repair requirements which will be implemented this calendar year.
